It’s like the military: a three star general is a Lieutenant General, a four star is just a General.

In Europe Union (and other countries probably, too), the superior rating is an official classification[1]. The ranking from worst to best looks like this:


★S
★★
★★S
★★★
★★★S

When you find loot of higher rarity, but it's lower level than yours so the stats are worse

Must be golf stars

The superior hotel has 3 stars and the hotel has 4

The hotel superior (manager) has worked at the hotel for 3 years, the other hotel staffer's badge has worked there for 4. Or it's the rating they each last received on their performance reviews, though that'd be equally as silly as not having run this badging scheme past a native English speaker before distributing them to be worn in public by hotel staff.
